What To Expect After Thoracentesis
After thoracentesis, you may need a chest x ray to
check for any lung problems. Your blood pressure and breathing will be checked
for up to a few hours to make sure you don't have complications.
Your doctor will let you know when you can return to
your normal activities, such as driving, physical activity, and working.
Once at home, call your doctor right away if you
have any breathing problems. |
